SCOM2Nagios 1.2
Find the newest version on top of: http://www.mbaeker.de/tag/scom2nagios/
Attached is the new version of the SCOM2Nagios Connector.
There is just one small thing changed:
You can now define the OK message in config file. So no more german status messages in your nagios 
And thanks to Thomas Karatzoglou we now have an english installation instruction in the file.

Markus,
Can you tell me how it communicates with Nagios? We use nagios for some of our unix monitoring and this might but cool to hook into our system. But I am curious about how it communicates with Nagios.
Hi Tim,
the connector simple starts the send_nsca.exe program to submit statusmessages to nagios. (passive check)
Best regards
Markus
Hi Markus,
Just to confirm, if we want to send status messages from Nagios to SCOM, we will need a different solution (such as QMX)?
Cheers
Michael
Hi Michael,
you are right. The alert flow is only in one direction: from scom to nagios. For the way back you need another connector. (and is more difficult because a real connector neeeds to create all objects from nagios in scom so that the alerts are bound to the source object)
Bye
Markus
Hi Markus,
I would try your plugin for nagios… but If I try to download it, it seems that I must have a login to do it… but I can’t create account…
Does it still available for free?
Kindly Regards,

Hello
I am looking for a Nagios to SCOM connector and came accross your site.
Can you please tell me is there a charge for this connector? and if so how much?
how can I download please, as it says I have to be registered to download but cannot see a new user registration link?
Thanks in advance
The Connector is Open Source without any fee. You shouldn’t have to register to download it. I will check the configuration.
Hello,
I got some issues with the version 1.0 and 1.1 of your SCOM2NAGIOS connector on a Windows 2008 R2 server. So, I tried to download the version 1.2 according to the rule “always be up to date” before I go deeper into debugging. But this download is only avaible for members. Am I able to register myself? Sorry, I didn’t find the section, only for log in.
Thanks in advance

It is still not possible to download without logigng in and it is not possible to create an account.

Hi MArkus,
when we try to run this (from your install instructions, after the .NET install runs ok):
Nagios-SCOMConnector.exe InstallConnector
We get a “Windows Service Start Failure” dialog and this error in Application event log:
“Service cannot be started. The service process could not connect to the service controller”
So it seems to be trying to start the service? Even though you say NOT to start it yet??
Any ideas to help?
Many thanks
Padraig.
@markus
The Nagios-SCOMConnector.exe is a windows service. If you start it without the right parameter Windows will show this dialog window. You have run this command directly on a cmd.exe command window with administrative rights on your scom server? Can you see the connector in you scom console under administration…?
Hi Markus,
OK I just needed to use Run As on the DOS window in Server 2008 to get past that, even though I am a local admin on the server. Connector is installed and appears in the SCOM GUI now and seems to forward alerts OK. 2 questions:
- when I forward an alert manually, it seems to send it repeatedly every 5 mins. Is this expected? Can it be configured? If I close the Alert, it sends the OK! Message just once.
- On our Nagios setup, they use just hostname but I am sending FQDN from SCOM. Anyway to change that?
Many thanks
Padraig.
Hi Markus,
can you tell me how can i create the rule in Scom 2007 R2 for the connector Nagios2Scom work !!
many Thanks
Best Regards
@Tim Mcfadden
Hi Tim,
you can find the rules in the SCOM (R2) console in Administration, Product Connectors, Internal Connectors. There you can search for Nagios Connector. In the properties in the lower pane you find the subscriptions and can add new ones.
Good luck
Markus
@markus
Hi Markus,
Thanks for your answer ,I have added the new one in Administration, Product Connectors, Internal Connectors but my connector doesn’t work.

Thanks for your help.

Are there no entries in the log file? Have you increased the logging to the maximum? Can you send me a log and the config to my email address? (on page “Impressum”)
@markus
